tackle whore Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Pete just found a UV activated glue that works a treat , imported the foil from taiwan works really well with a small uv torch .......still on the hunt for a machine though .

Pete Pete I rembered a video on the tube, I think it was one of Lapalas rapala factory video and it showed them putting foil on the bait. The foil was pressed on both sides at the same time.

TH - Sounds interesting, is it foil with UV glue attached or do you glue first and lay foil over it????? 'Jamie'- I have seen them printing onto lures with a machine like 'Rapalas' (in Darwin), they use special soft silicone pads which wrap around the lure and give a perfect print, maybe Rapalas is the same stuff.
